Best Carrot Cake Ever

Here’s one from the archives that I never ended up posting up back in 2012. Definitely worth sharing and I hope you’ll try the recipe out.

This past Friday was my brother’s 27th birthday. Unfortunately, we had some personal matters to tend to that day and on Saturday. On the drive back on Saturday afternoon, I asked him if he wanted any kind of cake for his birthday, even if it was a day late. He told me he wanted carrot cake.

My mom gave me the recipe that she got from a friend of hers; her friend has had the recipe in her family for a long time, so that ensures it’s a good one. You can half everything if you’d like to make a smaller cake. I present to you, a recipe for the best carrot cake ever (with cream cheese icing):

My hubby LOVES carrot cake, so I need to try this! Does all carrot cake have pineapple? Because I love pineapple, but would not have thought it went with carrots LOL. Clearly, I am not in the know about baking.

If you toast the walnuts first they become sweeter and definitely hardcore judging you for your reaction to raisins but I think we can still be friends. Try it without those things and I’m sure it’ll be just as good. Plus it’s healthy because of the carrots. And pineapple.
